Artivist Award | Drive Meaningful Social Change

The Artivist Award recognizes those who use their creative talents to drive meaningful social change.

Through this award, Artivism honors those who embody the intersection of art and activism and inspire positive impact in their communities. Each season, Artivist Award recipients are chosen by an interdisciplinary independent committee for their exceptional contributions to society and dedication to advancing social justice.

We are thrilled to celebrate these extraordinary individuals and the transformative work they do through The Artivist Award.
